Eden at the Shakespeare Garden

Red roses symbolize beauty, romance, and love.

Eden is an old-fashioned, romantic heirloom rose that is disease resistant, drought tolerant, and low maintenance, with five inch blooms from spring to fall.

Shakespeare gardens internationally and locally have included roses in their garden landscapes because Shakespeare refers to the Rose in over 70 of his plays and sonnets; it is the most mentioned flower throughout his works.

Shakespeare plays the incorporate the Rose:

  • “when I pluck’d the Rose, I cannot give it vital growth again, It needs must wither, I’ll smell it on the tree.”

  • “With two Provincial Roses on my razed shoes.”

  • “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by an other name would smell as sweet.”

  • “Gloves as sweet as Damask Roses.”

  • “More white than red than dove and roses are.”
